Getting out this paper is no
picnic,
H we print Jokes, people s'ay
we are silly,
If we don’t, they say we are too
serious
If we clip from other papers.
We are too lazy to write it down
ourselves,
If we don’t we are stuck on our
own stuff.
If we don’t stick to the job all i
day,
We ought to be out hunting up j
news
If we do go out and try to;
hustle,
We oughi to be on the job ,n the

If we don’t print contributions, j
We don t appreciate true genius, j
If we do, tiie pap« t is filled with

The Highest Paid Editor

Mr. Bmbane’* writings arc more
widely resJ than those of any
other editor of the present day.
To read w hat he has to say in
his interpretative column, ‘‘This
Week.” is to keep in touch with
a fast moving world.
Mr Brisbane writes in a simple
but striking style and in hia com-
ments on current events he dis-
plays an intimate knowledge of
the widest possible range of sub-
lects. as well as the word mastery
tor which he is tustiy famous.

"catching” diseases to the Health
Department. Dr John W. Brown,
State Health Officer, said
According to the laws of Texas
relating to public health, a phy-
sician is required to notify the
health ottlcer of the city, town or
county in which the illness occurs.
Immediately and in writing, of each
case of a notifiable disease that is
under his professional care. They
in turn notify the State Depart-
ment of Health.
"But the responsibility of re-
porting the diseases that are us-
ually spoken of as ’catching’ and
that spread from person to person,
or are contracted in handling or
rating contaminated foods, or In
drinking contaminated water, or
that are spread through the bites
of Insects or In handling Infected
animals, is not limited to the
doctors in attendance on such
of notifying the nearest
health officer ot each actual or
suspected case of a catching' dis-
ease tliut comes under their ob-
servation.
"A health department lx a de-
par, ment of public safety much
like a fire department. Immediate
reporting of the 'catching' diseases
is asked in order that the disease
fighting activities can be gotten
under way, without delay, to safe-
guard those who are in contact
with or exposed to these diseases
and to prevent the diseases from
spreading to others.”
